Trimbakeshwar Jyotirlinga
Trimbakeshwar, about 30 km from Nashik city, marks the source of the Godavari river at Brahmagiri hill and is one of the closer Jyotirlingas to Shirdi, making it a popular single-day trip.
Significance
The temple's three faces representing Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva give Trimbakeshwar its name, and it is also associated with the Kumbh Mela cycle held periodically in Nashik.
How to Reach
Trimbakeshwar is roughly 1.5–2 hours by road from Shirdi and is usually combined with a Nashik city visit on the same day.
Best Time to Visit
October to March; monsoon (June–September) brings lush Sahyadri scenery but wetter travel conditions.
Suggested Duration
Half a day for the temple alone; a full day when combined with Nashik.
